Choice D will create an irrational number when added. This is because a rational number plus a rational number will always be irrational (you can experiment this by trying to add rational numbers to pi). For example, 3 + pi = 6.1415926..... or

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
its not A
The annual returns will be calculated as follows:
a] Here we use the formula:
A=p(1+r/100)^n
A=future amount
p=principle
r=returns
n=time
We are given:
A=500, p=400, t=1
Plugging the values in the formula we obtain:
500=400(1+r)^1
simplifying and solving for r:
1.25=1+r
thus
r=1.25-1
r=0.25~25%
b] Using the formula above:
A=p(1+r/100)^n
A=2500+100=2600, p=2000, n=1 year
plugging the values in the equation we obtain:
2600=2000(1+r)^1
simplifying and solving for r we obtain:
2600/2000=1+r
1.3=1+r
hence
r=1.3-1
r=0.3~30%
30 is 50% of 60 because 50% is a half
